polski), also known as yardlong bean, long-podded cowpea, Chinese long bean, bodi/bora, snake bean, or pea bean, is a legume cultivated to be eaten as green pods. It is known for its unusually long pods, which can grow up to 1 yard (0.91 m) in length.
Etymology
The term "asparagus bean" is derived from the plant's long, slender, and tender pods that are reminiscent of asparagus, a completely different species. The name "yardlong bean" is a direct reference to the length of the pods.
Description
Asparagus bean is a tropical and subtropical vine, which can grow up to 9-12 feet tall. The plant produces long, slender pods that are typically harvested before they mature, when they are still green and tender. The beans inside the pods are small and undeveloped at this stage. The pods have a texture similar to green beans and a flavor subtly reminiscent of asparagus.
Cultivation
Asparagus beans are typically grown in warm climates, as they require a long, warm growing season. They are often grown on trellises or other supports due to their vining habit. The beans are usually harvested when they are still immature and green.
Culinary Uses
Asparagus beans are commonly used in Asian cuisines, particularly in stir-fries, curries, and salads. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and are often used as a substitute for green beans or asparagus.
